re-design Have you ever owned a piece of jewelry, costume or real, that you never wear, but for some reason just can't give away? Maybe it's got sentimental value, but you don't share the previous owner's style. In these times of "re-use", why not apply the concept to your old jewelry? The following example was a watch fob of my grandmother's. Beautiful as the workmanship was, I just never wore it as a pin. It sat in my drawer for years. With a little re-designing and my love of beads, in this case freshwater pearls and lapis, I now have a unique and stunning necklace. What can I re-design to give you new enjoyment of an old treasure or a flea market find?
